Oh Bob your so sweet. You take great pictures. Can you take another close up of Chocolate Soldier please. lol I think it's foliage got on some may be folded up from packaging and travling but it will settle down. Oh yes Ultra Violet Dusk one of my favorite Girl Foliage. And Aussie Alice Epsicas shows no bounderies grows great ! I wanted to send more but ran out of room as their big next time. Oh yes the Chirita my favorite grew it from aleaf and enjoyed every minute of it. Grew others by Stolens or leaves just for you :))

PS Bob you may cut the plastic baggies off if you like :)) You did an excellent job opening them ! And they had a long trip packaged Monday and shipped Tuesday slow Priority Mail they look great !

Allison...big hugs to you for all that you do...and what you mean to all of us...I know that this is the most loving and caring forum i have ever had the please of being a part...my thanks to everyone for the wondrous depth of caring and sharing....i will take some more pics......my thanks again...bob

Bob the baby on Alsobia Cygnet looks like it grew on it's trip lol

Oh Bob sorry how did you ever open them and take such good pictures. My husband was just about legaly blind until he had cateract surgery this past fall. Without my glasses and by-focals on I can't see nothing. I hope you will be ok.
